So..

[Mavros]

EvC forum is for debates and this forum was for creationism nonsense. My guestion is why exactly this section is now open to all members? Dont think creationist&id guys want actually debate here, thats why they left EvC forum

 

[Melethiel]

No, they don't want debate here. Please see the Theology rules wiki for guidelines.

Ok i dont mind that no debates here, but WHY we can post here now if we cant tell our opinion?

 

[laptoppop]

I've posted in the Theistic Evolution forum before -- when I had a friendly link that I thought would interest them about a particular person. For discussions (debates) theres always the EvC forum, or for theological discussions related to origins there's the forum one level up from this.

You can ask questions, for example.

...creationism nonsense. ...

This is the very reason why only Creationists were allowed in this forum.
We wanted a place where we could have a pleasant conversation.

I can't make heads or tails out of it.
It's too confusing.
Could someone put it in a nutshell for me...
with bullet points?

 

[Melethiel]

I'll give it a shot. (Mel makes mental note to streamline the rules)

- Over all of the Theology forums, debate is limited to Nicene-compliant topics.
- Flaming/harassing/personal sniping is not allowed.
- The Creationism forum is for discussion of Creationism only, not for creationism vs. evolution debate

 

[laptoppop]

I'll try....

• Anyone can post anywhere
• Areas can be limited as to topics.
• The people in those areas get to hash out what the limits are.
• Focus on the topics, not the people (no personal attacks)
• Break the rules and you might be subject to a PM from a moderator and your post may be deleted
• Mods have a tough job - trying to keep peace and keep discussions going without the same kind of "teeth" that they had before
• If the problem is really really really really bad, you might be kicked out
• Report, ignore and pray for obnoxious folks.

Thank you.
So does "creationism nonsense" from post number 1 break the
"Flaming/harassing/personal sniping is not allowed" rule?
Because that's just the kind of belittling I am sick and tired of.

That word just slipped, sory if it insult. You are free create new thread in EvC forum to test which view is supported with evidence

 

[Tyche]

May I ask if I have interpreted the new rules correctly?

I am married to a Creationist. He is not very good at explaining his faith to me, a secular Humanist, and I really don't have a good background in his faith. He does not "believe" in the theory of evolution, and couldn't really tell me why (It was just wrong).

I joined these forums in order to understand better, and after some 2 years of reading I have realized that his objection to the theory of evolution is because he, as a Creationist, believes that death did not occur before the Fall.

You all could have answered me in a second if I had posted here first.

I can imagine that I may have questions (not debates) that it would be nice to ask more eloquent Creationists.

Thanks

BTW, married 16 years, 3 great kids, questions about our origins are an infinitesimal part of our marriage, but I am of an inquiring mind.

You will not find a better bread of Creationist anywhere else. I'll give that to them. Our regular creationist know as much about creationism as any creationist could know.

I have something that might help you understand it a little better. It's first of all doctrinal, particularly with regards to sin and the consequences of sin as taught in the New Testament.

I hope this helps a little.

You can't help yourself, can you?
Even when you're apologizing you're condescending.

The Creationist view is not only supported by the evidence, it is supported by the Word of God.
When the end of the world comes,
and every knee bows,
and every tongue confesses the Jesus Christ is LORD
to the glory of God the Father,
then we'll see who saw the truth.

You're wearing the wrong glasses.

 

[Mavros]

The Creationist view is not only supported by the evidence, it is supported by the Word of God.

Great! Now please start thread in EvC forum so we can look at your evidence

 

[shernren]

Question to creationists: is "asking for evidence" an insult, or a friendly question? Or does it have to be determined case-by-case? Better get that ironed out.

 

[FallingWaters]

Great! Now please start thread in EvC forum so we can look at your evidence

The evidence is the evidence.
It's how it's understood and interpreted that is different.
I am not going to engage in a discussion with you.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Right. That's just who we are. No need to post evidence. We already know how that ends.

If I may, that seems to be to be a real, honest question, not bait for an argument. I appreciate your attitude. If I have understood you rightly, where would you like to start?

(And yes indeed, I am articulate. Not necessarily knowledgeable, but articulate, sometimes even eloquent.)
